Winter time here in Abu Dhabi reminds me of Summer in South-Africa, where I come from. Today was a great 'winter' day with temperatures still up to 32 degree Celsius! So with that Spring feeling in mind, I headed to the nursery and got some Petunia seedlings to plant. Our 'garden' here is restricted to a few containers, as garden soil is a scarce commodity ... sand a plenty, yes, but that doesn't work so well to get something growing!
So , with my gardening finished (and my back aching) I headed to the craft room for a quick Christmas card!
I did some word art for the inside of my Christmas cards... you can find it HERE!
Various other word art/ sentiments are listed in the side bar (top).
The sentiment is computer generated and reads 'Merry Christmas' in Afrikaans.
Challenges :
cas-ualfridays ~ sketch
winter wonderland ~ what a cutie
paper pretties ~Christmas in non traditional colours
forever friends challenge~ Christmas is coming (include an animal)
Thanks for visiting my blog!
